Fellow German grocer Lidl followed closely behind at £70.64.
Which? found Aldi was £6.86 cheaper than Sainsbury’s and £7.93 than Asda.
Meanwhile, the average basket price at Tesco was £8.10 more expensive and £11.47 at Morrisons.
Aldi managing director of buying Julie Ashfield said: “At Aldi we believe access to great quality food and drink is a right not a privilege.
“Shoppers want to know they are getting great quality produce at the best possible prices. So, to have Which? name us the UK’s cheapest supermarket for the eleventh month in a row is reassuring for our shoppers.”
